vm86 IRQ bugfix

[William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com>]

vm86 does broken tasklist scanning for matching task_struct pointers,
which is oopsable. This registers a notifier for it to GC vm86 IRQ's in
release_thread() and removes the broken tasklist scanning.

This bugfix is in 2.4.x and has been in 2.5.x-dj for an extended period
of time.
